The diversity and dexterity found at the core of every Honda CRF is a true testament to the celebrated history and widely recognized Honda heritage in dirt bike domination and off-road competition. Known for professional racing success in decades past and today, one thing remains constant — the continued dedication by Honda when it comes to supporting homegrown talent and racing in Canada.

With legendary Honda quality racers know and trust, all CRF competition models are highly sought-after weapons of choice among professional motocross, endurocross and flat track riders.

They say that history is always the greatest guide and if we rewind to as far back as 1996, Honda has led the way in Canadian off-road competition with pro riders like Marco Dube, Jean Sebastien Roy and of course now with four-time Canadian national motocross champion Colton Facciotti with the Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing Team.

COMPETITION

ABSOLUTE HOLESHOTThe race ready Honda CRF450R is our ultimate motocross machine with superb straight out of the gate performance. The CRF450R continues to pack a serious punch with its already impressive package, thanks to additional tweaks and refinment resulting in improved power and acceleration, exceptional handling and traction—plus the aggressive ‘absolute holeshot’ attitude and legendary Honda quality racers know and trust.

Yes, it’s incredibly powerful, as the high-tech Honda Unicam engine controlled by sophisticated electronics has been tuned and tweaked to near perfection. The CRF450R continues to deliver its strongest performance yet with electric start, 13.5:1 compression ratio, high performance combustion chamber and port shape design, including an intake system designed to increase engine power and torque.

The Honda CRF450R simply rockets off the line and out of corners, offering precise throttle control through the whoops or over doubles. The intuitive and dynamic Honda Engine Mode Select (EMS) system easily adjusts to dial in power-delivery ideally suited to your track conditions and riding style.

Enhanced stability and handling input include Showa front forks with coil spring design and stiffer spring rates to stand up to big jumps and sharpen control and corneringsharpen control—from grueling hairpin turns to flat-out rutted straights. The lightweight frame, titanium fuel tank, compact exhaust and short wheelbase all help increase overall balance, traction and handling. In addition, the CRF450R features attractive film insert body plastics for light, durable and aerodynamically proven good looks.

ADVANCED ALUMINUM FRAMEThe advanced and lightweight twin spar aluminum frame helps improve traction, feeling and steering precision. The torsional stiffness has been specifically engineered for more feedback to increase turn-in and corner-exit performance, without giving up high-speed stability.

HOLESHOT PERFORMANCEThe powerful CRF450R Unicam engine is designed to effortlessly get you out front by the first turn and keep you there all the way to the checkered flag.

TITANIUM FUEL TANKThe CRF450R titanium fuel tank reduces high-mounted weight, thereby lowering the centre of gravity—improving mass centralization.

Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive to dial in the best power curve for better starts, better drive out of corners, better traction, or simply to better suit your riding style. Mode selection is easily accomplished without changing your hand position or shutting down the engine (as long as the engine is idling).

SHOWA COIL-SPRING FORKEasy to tune to match changing track conditions or your riding style, the CRF450R’s Showa coil-spring fork was developed to work in conjunction with the improved chassis for enhanced traction, agility and stability.

COMPETITION

RADICALLY REDESIGNEDThe high energy world of motocross isn’t for the faint of heart and neither is the all-new 2018 Honda CRF250R. Radically redesigned for the absolute holeshot, it’s been totally re-engineered and fine tuned to get you well ahead of the pack until you blow past the checkered flag. Armed with major upgrades developed straight from HRC’s CRF450R and Honda MX factory teams, the all-new CRF250R delivers exactly what you demand... simply incredible performance.

When you ride a competition CRF-R, you know you’re riding with the advantage of the absolute best Honda motocross technology. Our dedicated engineers have found clever ways to make every second count with the CRF250R, featuring an all-new double-overhead-cam (DOHC) engine layout with a unique finger-follower rocker design. Together with the rest of the engine’s new architecture, you get more power and a higher redline. Prepare to confidently apply all of its power, thanks to the new 49 mm fully adjustable Showa coil-

spring front air fork that works in tandem with the 7th generation aluminum frame and new aluminum rear subframe for improved performance and an increased 327 mm of ground clearance When it comes to exceptional handling, the Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD) allows for quicker steering while producing a natural and smooth feel.

Built tough right down to the core, things that really separate the CRF250R from the pack include its remarkable balance and predictability. Like the incredible Honda CRF450R, this is a bike expertly engineered to react just the way you expect it to, just the way you want it to. Almost intuitively.

When only fractions of a second separate the winner from the pack, you want a motocross bike carefully crafted right down to every detail, big and small. A bike like the proven Honda CRF250R.

UPGRADED COOLING & PGM-FIThe new front design helps directs more air to the large radiators to handle the output from the more powerful DOHC engine. The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system takes full advantage of all upgraded engine components with shorter ratios for both first and second gear.

ALL-NEW DUAL EXHAUSTThe all-new dual-exhaust system is light, compact, and positioned close and low in the frame to take weight off the rear end, bringing more mass to the bike’s centre for improved handling. It also allows for more airflow and added horsepower.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Take a bike that does it all, and make it do those things even better. Honda engineers love a challenge, so they continuously find a way to deliver more power with an all-new double-overhead-cam (DOHC) engine, and make the chassis lighter and stronger to maximize performance. Combined with remarkable features like Engine Mode Select (EMS) and Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD), the result is a simply incredible bike that complements the incredible rider you aspire to be.

EMS SYSTEMWant to tweak the powerband to better suit track conditions or your riding style? The Engine Mode Select (EMS) system is as easy as pushing a button on the intuitive handlebar housing, complete with indicator lights and engine stop switch. You can even fine-tune two of the three modes (standard, smooth and aggressive) using the optional HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) setting tool.

SHOWA SFF AIR FORKThe new and improved 49 mm fully adjustable Showa coil-spring front air fork design on the CRF250R includes a number of clever innovations. Combined, they result in a superior front-end suspension with reduced weight, improved balance and precise handling. The 39 mm piston diameter and 25 mm rod diameter produce a plush feel with agile suspension action.

Tuned for dynamic riding performance, the intake and exhaust are expertly engineered to work in conjunction with a new 13.9:1 compression ratio, increased bore and reduced stroke for optimal race ready power and balance.

ANOTHER STEP UPJust because your young rider has grown in size, doesn’t mean you need to rush them into a bike that might be beyond their skill level. That’s what’s so great about the Honda CRF125FB. It’s the same user-friendly bike as the CRF125F, but with bigger 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels, plus a 50 mm (2 inch) taller seat height. This combination provides a little more ground clearance for tackling bigger obstacles, a little better stability over rough terrain and at higher speed, and a little more of the overall feeling and performance of a full-size bike. And when the time does come to trade up, you’ll be well informed of the durability and retained value that is a side-benefit of Honda’s quality engineering.

EVERY JOURNEY STARTS WITH THE FIRST STEPYour kids can’t wait to learn to ride. And while they might be satisfied by anything that looks cool, you want to give them the best start you can, on a bike that offers great safety features and unmatched reliability, and is as easy to operate as possible. Enter the Honda CRF50F, which was created specifically to give young up-and-coming riders the added confidence they need as they learn and grow. The CRF50F has the sporty look and high-quality fit and finish that will capture a kid’s imagination, and you’ll know that underneath the sleek styling is engineering you can trust. Adjustable throttle limiter, keyed ignition, automatic clutch, light-action controls, durable bodywork that’s carefully constructed to help keep clothing from getting snagged—it’s all designed to give your kids a welcoming introduction to a great new sport. And to give you some added peace of mind.

50F

A NEW LEVEL OF FUNWhat’s the hardest thing on an off-road bike for young riders to learn? For most, it’s operating the clutch. And that’s exactly why the Honda CRF110F is such a great bike for so many riders—and for the parents coaching them too! It goes and stops and handles just like a bigger bike, but the automatic clutch removes any worry about lurching or stalling when getting under way or when shifting gears. Riders still get to operate the four-speed transmission with their toe as usual, but the tried-and-true Honda automatic clutch takes care of the rest. A throttle limiter allows parents to choose the appropriate amount of available power from the durable 109 cc 4-stroke engine, and there’s both an effortless electric starter and a kick starter as well. If your young rider is too big for a CRF50F, but not quite ready for a CRF125F, the CRF110F offers a great stepping stone to a new level of fun.
